I'd ask you to explain how all libertarians are Nazis but then I guess I'd be taking the bait.

"Ubermensch" doesn't imply "nazism". It's a nietzschean concept referring to humanity going beyond itself, and was then adopted by nazism to refer to a man of pure race, which is not what Nietzsche was talking about.

He wasn't thinking of Nietzsche when he used the word. It's trendy now to accuse libertarians of being neo-Nazis.

> Maybe some people can start acting like the ubermensch they pretend to be from their libertarian ideology.
I know that libertarians are often accused of being Nazis, but how I read that phrase was a general "you libertarians think you are such superior beings, start acting like it".

You sure like to put words in other people's mouth ;) Please tell me exactly what I'm thinking and what I meant -- I'm burning with curiosity at this point. And maybe together we can iteratively refine it.

You got it totally wrong, I think you need to understand me better. I'm like the internet special forces on the harsh battlefield of the hn forum -- I dodge incoming bullets of political correctness, I roll away from bombs of guidelines of politeness designed to silence discourse, I shoot my enemies with a rifle designed to make them look stupid, I effortlessly lob grenades made of nothing but words, I pick up random wounded allies and I inspire others to keep going. I run faster and faster until momentum gathers and based upon nothing but air I cause the laws of probability to crash and I do it for no benefit to myself -- ok maybe there is some benefit for me ;)
My only fault is that I slay my enemies too efficiently, I had an excellent sparing partner. I will extend an olive branch and make it easy for you. I lied about donating to Terry

You'd be taking the bait if you actually made a donation to Terry.

Plenty of people have made donations to Terry, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Well, I'm in a charitable mood today so I decided to run a fundraiser on a whim using nothing but my phone.

I've donated hundreds. He told me to stop on a livestream because he was worried it would cause him to lose his disability payments.

Telling the truth is easy and pleasant -- he would disable his account if that was the case. Prove you are not lying. Link with irrefutable evidence given the constraint of keeping necessary information confidential.

This is hilariously overblown for a forum post, dude. Chill out.
